Notes - Writing this on Tuesday evening.  Yesterday, one of the absolute worst days I have ever felt body wise.  Didn't necessarily note any issues during training itself, but afterwards and all day just felt awful - left sacrum low back terrible, adductor, legs just way off.  I spent 90 minutes on my back doing the supine groin stretch from Pain Free last night, got massive stuff going on in my two shoulders, primarily the left, as well as low right lat.  I went in to see my body work / acupuncture specialist and we did a bunch of drills with my feet and pelvis, which continued to clear up a ton of stuff with my left shoulder in particular. We took a number of photos and could literally see the difference in the alignment of my hips and left shoulder as we progressed through the procedures.  Something is off with my training, or my day to day activities (or both) that keeps bringing me back to less than optimal postural positions, with twists in the shoulders and/or hips, and eventually I end up having problems.  I think I need a hard reset on my overall approach to training, more intention on "flow" and bodyweight movements, and frankly, I probably need to dramatically lighten loads and focus on shoring up weaknesses, problem areas, increase my overall stability and integrity.  I am not sure where to go next but I am sick and tired of not feeling good with too much frequency.  I have to change some things.

Notes - Getting around to writing this on Tuesday evening.  This training session on Saturday was good, I was able to press the 40kg each arm for 3 sets, without any issues.  I didn't have any problems over the weekend and felt pretty decent, though continued to have the nagging issue with my left sacrum / adductor / hip etc. Things are clearly not right as evidenced by my notes from Monday training following this.
